Our Deep Roots

The co-owner of Firever Pines, Ben Snyder began farming Christmas trees at the age of 10 on his grandfather’s Christmas tree farm (Haring Tree Farms) in Lewisberry, Pennsylvania. His grandfather has been growing Christmas trees since 1979. Ben has was heavily involved with his grandfather’s business learning the craft over the past 20 years managing the primary location and tending to the trees throughout the season. In 2004 Ben started a small farm of his own in Pennsylvania on his parents land where he still has trees growing.

Angel and Ben recently purchased just over a 10 acre plot of land in Caroline, County Virginia. They planted 3,000 tree seedlings in the spring of 2018 and are looking to continue to expand plantings in the coming years. A brick and mortar storefront will be constructed in the Summer of 2019 and Firever Pines will begin selling during the 2019 Christmas season from their Caroline County location.
